Secure the Optic
Attach one side of the scope to the top of the weapon, generally rectangular one end of the optic will have rings or rails which will fit around or onto the rail or top of the barrel.
Move the scope to the most appropriate position, if the optic can adjust the eye relief then trial several positions until a comfortable eye relief is established. Now fix the scope with the remaining thumbscrews.
Check for weapon zero, if the weapon is firing considerably off target adjustments need to be made. If there is a considerable amount of elevation adjustment required check to make sure the scope base has been properly installed.
Adjust the windage and elevation, loosen the windage and elevation turrets, turn the turret in the correct direction for adjustment. Ensure the turret is tight, repeat the process for the elevation turret until the desired zero has been achieved.
If the scope is equipped with a cant indicator, adjust if necessary, most dedicated cant indicators will have a bubble level, adjust the scope until the bubble is centered, ensuring the scope is level.
Consistent Cheek Weld, many optics will require the shooter to have a consistent cheek weld when using the optic, this will allow for accuracy and consistency of viewing the reticle. With a consistent cheek weld, the shooter’s eye will naturally align with the reticle without any undue movement.
